Murtha Cullina adds two in Connecticut

US law firm Murtha Cullina has hired Anthony Gangemi as a partner and Robert Kasten as a patent agent in the firm’s intellectual property group in New Haven, Connecticut.

Both lawyers join from US-based law firm Wiggin and Dana.

Gangemi has experience in patent law and has represented clients in the computer software and construction technologies industries.

In his new role, he will work in the business and finance department, but will chair the firm’s IP group.

Kasten’s practice focuses on drafting and prosecuting patent applications and he is registered to practise before the US Patent and Trademark Office.
